St. Nectarios Greek Orthodox Church

St. Nectarios is a Greek Orthodox parish in Roslindale that practices the Eastern Orthodox faith in a traditional Byzantine style. For more than half a century it has been the center of Orthodoxy in the Roslindale area, with an active liturgical life and a congregation that welcomes visitors whether or not they come from an Orthodox background. Sunday mornings begin with Orthros, or Matins, followed by the Divine Liturgy and a fellowship hour in the parish hall.

The parish runs a Greek School for children, an adult Greek language class and a program tied to Ellinomatheia, the Greek language certification exams. Ministries include the Philoptochos women’s philanthropic society, the GOYA and JOY youth groups, Sunday School, a floral ministry, a Golden Club and an outreach ministry. Fr. Alexandros leads a weekly session on Wednesday evenings over Zoom, with an in-person gathering once a month.
